SPORTS. ERRIS FORESEES GREAT SHOW HERE Junners Already in Training for June 17 Race Spon- sored by Star. BY R. D. THOMAS. TNOR most athletes three months is & long way to look ahead, but not your marathon runner. Shortly he long distance committee of he District A. A. U, headed by erry Looney, will meet to lay ~lans for The Star's second an- ual classic to be run no sooner ‘han Saturday, June 17. In the meantime, leather-lunged lads ‘iroughout the country are training for 1e 26-mile gallop for the national A. ."U. championship. Some have been preparing almost *“om the time the last race was finished. CCORDING to Dan Ferris, national secretary of the A. A. U. and the best informed man on track ath tics in the country, this year's con- ‘st should be the greatest national aarathon show ever held, with the pos- ible exception of one or two that fol- swed the 1908 Olympics, which featured uch famous harriers as Johny Hayes, “om Longboat, Dorando Pletri nnd Al ‘red Shrubb. More distance running talent sbounds ‘n the land todsy than at any time ince the great Anurmuoml feud of 2early a quarter century ago. Cross currents of rivalry wfll make +he 1033 marathon & much more in- eresting affair than the last. TFor nstance, the Ogden Park Club of Chi- ago, represented by only two men in ‘32, has served netice on hampion, the Monsrch Athletic muh of Canada. A recent le\hr Iram Bill Mihalo, gden Park gster, says: “Willie Jreyer, Au Blobod.! and I have been raining religiously ever since we ok from Washington, lookm 7ext race there, and some of tl Thicago runners have joined us. Dreyer. ‘ou know, was not & member of our lub last year. He is now and that ~ives us the three necessary for & team. 3ut there prnb‘h]y will be others.” Mn—lAws communication was pre- ceded by one from Ernie Wyer of the Monarch Club, & brother of solorful little Percy. The Canadians, aocording to Ernie, have not the ightest intention of surrendering their sitle. “Aside from the victory” we learn from Wyer, “the Monarch boys en- joyed The Washington Star race more, I believe, than any they have com- peted in and they're coming back.” At least two famous runners are bent upon redeeming themselves for disap- pointing performances. These are Billy Agee, who relinquished the national crown to his fellow Baltimorean, Clyde Martak, and the sturdy German, Paul De Bruyn. Agee dropped out at the end of 15 miles in the terrific test of lat Au- M 20 but ln this rope;m‘a um Only a few kmv that Agee had training for the race, or #0 little a8 w make it Defending & national title, ballyhooed as a potential record- breaker, Agee risked humiliation rath- er than spoil the show.

He hated in the worst way to out of The Star marathon lsst everybody, you know, why he even if he could, a lot of people would be skeptical. The only way he can truly vindicate himself is in another test, and Billy, believe me, will be ready for the next marathon in Washington. Unless something unforeseen occurs be- tween now and June 17, he will be the Tunner to beat for that national title. He wants it back, badly.” 'OUR correspondent has & lot of respect for Bill Agee, but his faith in the Baltimorean is tempered by ;houglhu of a Scotchman named John emple. Semple, national title holder of lcot- land. but now a resident of Lynn, Mass. finished a creditable fifth in the August race, but then went on to several im- ortant victories. A week after running ‘Washington he beat a smart fleld in & regulation marathon at nockuuhnm. N. H,, a field that included the Olym| champion, Juan Zabals, and the um d States champion, Martak, neither of ‘whom finished. Semple later retained the cham b!h ship of New England, stronghold marathon running, and won the Paw- tucket race, an annual event, for the third straight time. We believe semg; will be a favorite when the lads of long reaches line up on June 17 at Mount Vernon. GOLF FAVORITE BEATEN A. R. Hakes Is Victim of Leo Goss’ Hot Round at Palm Beach.

GENTRAL COVETING : TWO MORE TITLES = Has Hopes of Adding Track, Diamond Honors to Its Basket Ball Crown. ENTRAL HIGH, for several years in the grip of a depres- slon 8o far as athletic honors are concerned, has high hopes of completing this school year with victorles in thres of the four major sports. With the basket ball crown in the well-known moth balls, the boys who wear the Blue now are looking covetous- ly to the base ball and track titles. Bhould they succeed in their. quest, Central will have enjoyed the best sports year it has had in quite some time. It seems there is plenty of reason to figure the Streaks strong contenders in both base ball and track. Last sea- | son they tied Eastern and Western lorl n the diamond diadem and swept to| ZEY victory in the track meet. Some valu- able members of both squads have been lost by graduation, but there is much good material left upen which to rebuild. ITH Central apparently on the threshold of & sports renaissance, it appears that the Blue will con- tinue to hold the spotlight, at least 1n‘ one sport—basket ball. Bill Burke md Ollie Tipton will get their diplomas in | June, and theyll be missed, but the | Streaks have a coterie of players of | proved worth remaining for another | campaign. Strong as 1s this year’s| qun-n. it would not surprise to see the Central team a season hence even more formidable. In fust one major sport—foot ball— has the Blue found the road to the top rocky. And if hard work means any- thing, Central will not have to take a back seat in this sport much longer. Even now Coach Bert Coggins is hold- ing regular gridiron classes among the {mm:er students with a view to having future squads well grounded in the theory of the game. He is determined to lead Central out of the lowlands and on to the high road to grid glory.
